For the last efw weeks, I've not been able to buy slabs and then any diet coke in Carrefour, Tesco etc. That Coke Zero &lt;deleted&gt; is everywhere but all you get from the store muppets is "mott".

Anyone have the inside angle ?

It's probably Coke Thailand failing to meet the Sales targets for Coke Zero so instead of disappointing corporate HQ they have probably decided to say &lt;deleted&gt; the customers and had the bright idea of limiting supply of Coke light with the hope that everybody will try Coke Zero instead. By the way I did try it and you are right it is &lt;deleted&gt;.

So until diet Coke makes a comeback I will be buying anything but coke products...&lt;deleted&gt; em I say I for one won't play their games not that it will make any difference until some tosser meets his targets.

Market distribution, asleep at the wheel, typical of developing world not knowing how program the inventory software, or how to read the printout in the native language. As my postings have shown for years here and in Mexico, it is not uncommon for an entire metro area to be slap out of a major product. We buy 1.25 liter bottles of Pepsi Max by the multiple cases, and they can be slap dab, mai mee. totalemente nada, 'no hay.' We stock up in advance.

I think all the fat people have drank it !,. im giving it up anyway, ive drank it for 10 years and im still 92 kilos , it dosent work ,

To each their own poinson but for medical reasons I drink Zero always mixes with Jack Daniels and over the last 6 months along with diet and exercise (ie Walking an hour a day) I have lost 15 kilos. at first I didn't like it but now it is my personal preference. Be patient.

I agree, except that it's even easier than that - all they have to do is make a note of what they run out of, and order more next time. And what they have left over, order less.

For example: Big C - always runs out of Scott 6 packs of kitchen paper. Why? They have shelves full of rubbish kitchen paper that no one wants to buy. They could stop selling all of that stuff and have a complete aisle full of Scott products that would sell.

Big C south pattaya branch is very good at that.In the last 2 months pepsi max in 1.25 liter bottles was available for about 5 days alltogether.They always run out of stock for popular articles for a long time.Means they only order after the shelve is empty already,hence the many empty shelves.The management at that particular branch is a real disgrace for the Big C chain.
